Saturday Gulfstream Play – March 22nd

Last week we got Lady Claypole home at a nice price. She didn’t quite go off her 20-1 morning line but 11-1 in a small field was just fine by me. Like we discussed anytime you think the longest shot on the board has a realistic chance you just about must bet.

I don’t like anything quite that price this week, but these is a horse sprinting at Gulfstream Park on the grass in The Texas Glitter who caught my eye.

Turbulent Force will have a cozy rail draw going back on the grass and getting off the synthetic. I think Dylan Davis who is riding very good will play that break and clear if he can or perhaps and what I expect more sit an inside cat bird type trip. There is no shortage of speed in here and that includes likely favorite the returning from Ascot Gabaldon.

Turbulent Force ran good in both starts and should be a bit more grown up and at least a little faster than when we last saw him in July. The works are good, and Weaver can bring them back sharp. Most eyes will be on the three-year olds at the Fair Grounds and also at Turfway Park and yes, I’ll be watching there also but many times on those days you can scope out some value opportunities elsewhere. We will also see the return of Sierra Leone who looks like a major player for the rest of the year.

The AmWager Racing Moment this week was a NO BRAINER:

Let’s see if we can do a little more damage this weekend.
